Voters, Parties and Responsiveness
Thu, August 31, 2:00 to 3:30pm PDT (2:00 to 3:30pm PDT), LACC, 152Session Submission Type: Created Panel
Session Description
This panel focuses on the linkages between parties and citizens which are vital to the process of political representation in democracies. The panel will explore the conditions shaping party responsiveness to citizens and the consequences of responsiveness for citizens’ attitudes and economic performance. The panel will also explore how responsiveness is related to differing patterns of elite and mass polarisation, and assess how ambiguity in parties’ campaign promises is affected by varying levels of exposure to globalisation.
